Paul closes his first letter to the Corinthian church on a note of hope and encouragement to the Corinthians and to the church militant, that we are proof of the risen Christ's blessing of reconciled people to God. He highlights, in these verses, the ways through which these blessings flow through us

 ‘Our hearts have room for only one all-embracing devotion, and we can only cleave to one Lord.’ - DietrichBonhoeffer

In this final chapter of 1 Corinthians, Paul ties together practical guidance, heartfelt encouragement, and community recognition. We explore biblical giving, Godly leadership, support for ministry workers, and standing firm in love and faith. We learn how generosity, humility, and spiritual strength shape the Christian life—and how what God gives to you, He wants to give through you.

Paul opens the final chapter of 1 Corinthians, exploring Paul's instructions on financial contributions, travel plans, and personal exhortations. We uncover the context and meaning behind these verses and how they apply to our lives today, especially through the lens of how a person can share meaningfully with the church.

Paul urges the church in Corinth on to maturity, having addressed the various issues in the previous chapters and reaffirmed their hope in Christ to strive again forward towards hope; he presses on them to move on from carnality.

What will the resurrection look like—and why does it matter today? In this episode, we tackle Paul’s compelling answer to a natural question: “How are the dead raised? And with what kind of body do they come?” Through vivid illustrations—from seeds to stars—Paul reveals the transformative glory of the resurrected body and anchors our hope in Christ's victory.

If Christ is risen, what does that mean for us—in our bodies, in our battles, and in our future? In this follow-up episode to our exploration of the resurrection's assurance, we now turn to Paul’s powerful teaching, where he answers pressing questions about the how and why of our resurrection.

What if Christ had not risen from the dead? In this episode, we explore the sobering implications outlined by Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:12–19—where a world without the resurrection means a dead Saviour, a dead message, and a dead hope. But Paul ushers in assurance in verse 20: But now Christ is risen from the dead..." This is the pivot point of our faith and the anchor of our hope.

Of all the four pillars of the gospel, the resurrection is the constant ongoing assurance of the Christian. Paul reaffirms this truth in the second part of his fifteenth chapter to the Corinthians by contrasting the consequences of a Christ not risen. We press deeper into contrast to understand how fundamental this belief is to the Christian and how we as Christians today ought to live our lives in view of this assurance.

As we move further into chapter 15 of First Corinthians, Paul begins to juxtapose the resurrection side by side with the consequences of a falsehood were it not true. He reaffirms the pillar of the resurrection and what is at stake for us for this blessed assurance.

As we take the turn around the full essence of the resurrection of Christ, in this Bible study we recap on the salient points that ought to bear on our minds as Christians in view of Christ's complete work, reflecting how Christ has appeared to each of us.
